Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the accounts, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the accounts are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “SpecialEffect become the first charity to receive a BAFTA Special Award, a wonderful acknowledgement of our influence and impact on accessibility in gaming.”
• “This was a significant year for our Fundraising and Communications Team as well, with both our GameBlast and One Special Day campaigns exceeding their fundraising targets, despite challenges in the wider economy and strong games industry headwinds.”
• “Our EyeMine gaze-controlled Minecraft interface has now been downloaded by over 5000 people all over the world and we are ensuring that it will be futureproof by developing a Windows 11 version, in addition to the currently available version for Windows 10.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
